I started this Blog in 2009 when my #1 was born. 6 years 3 states, and 7 houses later and 3 kids in, this is my escape! I hope one day my kids can look back here and see just how much Mommy loves them - despite my yelling and meltdowns! Grab some popcorn and Read on if you want to be amused at my journey into the unknown!

Bye Bye Baby!

Sir Isaac is growing so fast! I think today will be our official LAST DAY OF NEWBORN CLOTHES! How time flies! The only reason he is still wearing the NB onesie today is because I already had it over his head before I realized it was too small! And it is such torture to change him! He absolutely hates the shirt over-the-head part of the day! Thanks so much for all the great responses to the last post! I was so relieved to hear that I am not the only one out there with some frustrations! I am glad to hear Isaac is not the only baby to ONLY sleep in the stroller or in the laundry room! Nor am I the only one who fell into the LaLeche trap or victim to the Colic nights! Thanks for the support! I know it will pay off in the long run! Little man surely gave me a run for the money last night! The crying would not let up! The only thing that would stop him were walks outside - and he is no dummy - my rocking the stroller in the house did not cut it! We had to go OUTSIDE - and keep moving!!! He is cute - but demanding! Then VICTORY!!!! He fell asleep in the stroller for 4 hours!!! It was a like a mini vacation! It is like a crib on wheels!! Jill and Gina suggested Colic Calm Gripe Water to ease the fussiness - I hope it works! If I can find it that is!! Anyone out there try it before? FINALLY! The weather is starting to let up here - only in the low 90's today! Yeah!! Finally I can take the stroller out in the afternoon! We went out to run some errands yesterday and I could have fried an egg on his carseat when we got back to the car! I am ready for Fall for sure! So are the mutts! They are ready to get out of the house! Now if I can only handle 3 dogs and a baby I will be all set!More to come! Thanks again for all the support and comments! I appreciate it!

Hi mama! Sounds like you are getting the hang of things with your little one - things will settle down - and just when they do something else will happen! You are a great mommy! We miss you out here...send me your address when you can! XOX Jill G

Hi Nikki, hope this goes through, I don't know which coice to make in the "Comment as" section...each choice is unfamiliar to me. Sorry to hear Isaac's been so fussy. I'd offer a suggestion, but (luckily)I have no experience with Colic. I suggested to Jason the other day about taking him outside a bit each day..which I'm glad to hear, may be working a bit for you. Maybe the little prince, just needs a change of scenery now & then. Sounds like you're doing a great job as a new Mommie & a good sign of that is that he's growing like a weed! He is so adorable!...Hang in there, the first 4 months are always the worst. Love, Gramma Roberta
